trying to keep my sense of humor...

Oh man, I know what you mean. Just today I was told

to have pizza, just pick off the pepperoini. Like

that makes it vegetarian with the little pools of

non-vegetarian grease on those spots underneath..LOL

I really hope she isn't going to post the lunch as

vegetarian.

I truly don't think non-vegs mean to be rude, they

just don't understand with the diet consists of and so

many of them feel everything but beef is in our diet.

Donna your story reminded me of an awlful pizza story! My oldest

daughter and I were at a party hosted by my husbands office. I think

that half of the workers are vegetarian there. We were not then, and

are just making the transition now. Anyway, my daughter, and the

other kids sat in a corner eating pizza. They were there for quite a

while when I walked over to chat with them, and they were eating

pepperoni!!! Now my daughter was the only non vegetarian at the

table. I just thought that if they were going to accidently eat

something, that was the worst thing that they could have eaten! I

wondered all night if they were going to get sick.

 

We may have been meat eaters in the past, but I always stayed clear

of things like pepperoni. I can hardly think of anything more

unhealthy!!!

 

Keep your sense of humor everyone! Society is a big thing!
